Question How to create a video from an animation?

[g1000]

When working with PC version of VAM, is there a plugin that allows you to export a VAM animation as a series of screenshots, so you can create a video from it and edit it with video editing software?

What other methods can you use to create a video file from a VAM animation?

Thank You much for the info

Plugins - Video Renderer for 3D VR180, VR360 and Flat 2D & Audio + BVH Animation Recorder

This plugin renders VR180, VR360 and traditional 2D videos with audio and VR/panorama images inside Virt-A-Mate in stereoscopic 3D and monoscopic view. You can render at very high levels of resolution, quality and frame rate that would be...

Thank You - that plugin looks perfect - but I need clarification on how I would use this, specifically the info page says:
" Simply add the plugin (.cslist) to the object from which you want to render (such as an Empty)"

- I don't understand "the object from which you want to render"
The object I want to render from is my screen viewport. That is wherever I happen to pan/zoom and rotate to using my mouse before I hit play in Timeline.

With this plugin is it possible to:

Adjust my view using my mouse in windows to pan, zoom and rotate the view to where I want it, leave it there, arm the plugin for recording and hit "play" in Timeline? (In some 3D software that I've used this would be called setting a view port to a camera view.) It's a first person way to set your record view to what you see.

or

Would I have to select the "VAM Window Camera/another object" and try to manipulate that using a third person view by manipulating the the 3D selector?

and:

Is it possible to create a "fly though" animation? - (I have done this in the past (with other apps) by animating the camera that you use to record along a path)

Thanks again for the help

Hey @Acid Bubbles, curious why you do this. OBS can output an MP4 file so are you exporting in another format and using handbrake to convert to MP4 and if so why?
